Bromley's Family Law provides an accurate, detailed account of family law. The text presents a broad treatment of the key issues relating to adult and child law. This new edition has been edited and updated to take account of the latest case law and legislation, while also reflecting new debates and emerging issues in the area. Particular attention is also paid to the increasingly significant international dimension of family law, with a new chapter on this area. This edition has been updated to provide up-to-date coverage on cohabitation, the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 and Children and Families Act 2014. It also examines the proposals of the Family Justice Review.

Hayes and Williams’ Family Law, now in its fifth edition, provides critical and case-focused discussion of the key legislation and debates affecting adults and children. The volume takes a critical approach to the subject and includes ‘talking points’ and focused ‘discussion questions’ throughout each chapter which highlight areas of debate or controversy. The introductory chapter within this edition provides a detailed overview of the meaning of private and family life within Article 8 of the ECHR, as well as containing accounts of recent case law illustrating the difficulties which curtailment of legal aid by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 has caused for litigants in family law cases. Part 1 of this edition outlines the most up-to-date statistics on the incidence of marriage, civil partnerships and divorce, discusses recent initiatives such as the Civil Partnerships Act 2004 (Amendment) Bill 2015–16; the No-Fault Divorce Bill 2015–16 and important case law developments on the requirements for a valid marriage such as R (Hodkin &amp; Anor) v Registrar General of Births, Deaths and Marriages [2013] UKSC 77 and Asaad v Kurter [2013] EWHC 3852 (Fam) as well as recent Supreme Court decisions on financial orders on divorce such as Wyatt v Vince [2015] UKSC 14; Sharland v Sharland [2015] UKSC 60, and Gohil v Gohil [2015] UKSC 61. Part 2 of the book highlights the recent flurry of cases under section 54 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 such as Re X (A Child) (Parental Order: Time Limit) [2014] EWHC 3135 (Fam); Re Z (A Child: Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act: Parental Order) [2015] EWFC 73, and Re A and B (No 2) (Parental Order) [2015] EWHC 2080 (Fam). Further, this edition discusses case law relating to child arrangements orders such as Re C (Internal Relocation) [2015] EWCA Civ 1305, and Re F (A Child) (International Relocation Cases [2015] EWCA Civ 882; cases on international child abduction (Re K (Abduction: Inchoate Rights) [2014] UKSC 29 and Re B (A Child) [2016] UKSC 4) and recent case law concerning supervised contact between a child and a parent (Re S (Child Arrangements Order: Effect of Long-Term Supervised Contact on Welfare) [2015] EWCA Civ 689). It also considers important case law on public law relating to children (Re N (Children) (Adoption: Jurisdiction) [2015] EWCA Civ 1112), and judicial guidance on the approach to step-parent adoption (Re P (Step-parent Adoption) [2014] EWCA Civ 1174).

Hayes and Williams’ Family Law, now in its sixth edition, provides critical and case-focused discussion of the key legislation and debates affecting adults and children. The volume takes a critical approach to the subject and includes ‘talking points’ and focused ‘discussion questions’ throughout each chapter which highlight areas of debate or controversy. The introductory chapter within this edition provides a discussion of the law’s understanding of ‘family’ and the extent to which this has changed over time, a detailed overview of the meaning of private and family life within Article 8 of the ECHR, and a discussion of the Family Justice Review and subsequent developments. Part 1 of this edition, supplemented by the ‘Latest Developments’ section, outlines the most up-to-date statistics on the incidence of marriage, civil partnerships and divorce, discusses recent case law on the validity of marriage such as Hayatleh v Mofdy [2017] EWCA Civ 70 and K v K (Nullity: Bigamous Marriage) [2016] EWHC 3380 (Fam), and highlights the recent Supreme Court decision (In the Matter of an Application by Denise Brewster for Judicial Review (Northern Ireland) [2017] 1 WLR 519) on the pension rights of unmarried cohabitants. It also considers the litigation concerning the prohibition of opposite-sex civil partnership registration from the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Steinfeld and Keidan v Secretary of State for Education [2017] EWCA Civ 81 to the important decision of the Supreme Court in R (on the application of Steinfeld and Keidan) (Application) v Secretary of State for International Development (in substitution for the Home Secretary and the Education Secretary) [2018] UKSC 32. This edition also provides an in-depth discussion of the recent Supreme Court decision in Owens v Owens [2018] UKSC 41 regarding the grounds for divorce and includes discussion of Thakkar v Thakkar [2016] EWHC 2488 (Fam) on the divorce procedure. Further, this edition also considers the flurry of cases in the area of financial provision on divorce such as Waggott v Waggott [2018] EWCA Civ 722; TAB v FC (Short Marriage: Needs: Stockpiling) [2016] EWHC 3285; FF v KF [2017] EWHC 1903 (Fam); BD v FD (Financial Remedies: Needs) [2016] EWHC 594 (Fam); Juffali v Juffali [2016] EWHC 1684 (Fam); AAZ v BBZ [2016] EWHC 3234 (Fam); Scatliffe v Scatliffe [2016] UKPC 36; WM v HM [2017] EWFC 25; Hart v Hart [2017] EWCA Civ 1306; Sharp v Sharp [2017] EWCA Civ 408; Work v Gray [2017] EWCA Civ 270, and Birch v Birch [2017] UKSC 53. It also considers the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Mills v Mills [2018] UKSC 38 concerning post-divorce maintenance obligations between former partners, and the Privy Council decision in Marr v Collie [2017] UKPC 17 relating to the joint name purchase by a cohabiting couple of investment property.
Part 2 focuses on child law, examining the law on parenthood and parental responsibility, including the parental child support obligation. This edition includes discussion of new case law on provision of child maintenance by way of global financial orders (AB v CD (Jurisdiction: Global Maintenance Orders)[2017] EWHC 3164), new case law and legislative/policy developments on section 54 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 (parental orders transferring legal parenthood in surrogacy arrangements), and new cases on removing and restricting parental responsibility (Re A and B (Children: Restrictions on Parental Responsibility: Radicalisation and Extremism) [2016] EWFC 40 and Re B and C (Change of Names: Parental Responsibility: Evidence) [2017] EWHC 3250 (Fam)). Orders regulating the exercise of parental responsibility are also examined, and this edition updates the discussion with an account of the new Practice Direction 12J (on contact and domestic abuse), and controversial case law addressing the tension between the paramountcy of the child’s welfare and the protected interests of a parent in the context of a transgender father’s application for contact with his children (Re M (Children) [2017] EWCA Civ 2164). Part 2 also examines the issue of international child abduction, including in this edition the Supreme Court’s latest decision, on the issue of repudiatory retention (Re C (Children) [2018] UKSC 8). In the public law, this edition discusses the Supreme Court’s clarification of the nature and scope of local authority accommodation under section 20 of the Children Act 1989 (Williams v London Borough of Hackney [2018] UKSC 37). In the law of adoption, several new cases involving children who have been relinquished by parents for adoption are examined (Re JL &amp; AO (Babies Relinquished for Adoption),[2016] EWHC 440 (Fam) and see also Re M and N (Twins: Relinquished Babies: Parentage) [2017] EWFC 31, Re TJ (Relinquished Baby: Sibling Contact) [2017] EWFC 6, and Re RA (Baby Relinquished for Adoption: Final Hearing)) [2016] EWFC 47).

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. The third edition of Family Law presents everything an undergraduate family law student needs in one volume. Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors offer a detailed and authoritative exposition of family law illustrated by materials carefully selected from a wide range of sources. The book has two principal aims: to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the law relating to the family, and to do so in a way that stimulates critical reflection on that law. Readers are encouraged to consider how and why the law has developed as it has, what policies it is seeking to pursue, whether it achieves the right balance between the rights and interests of individual family members and the wider public interest, and how it operates in practice. New to this edition are: analysis of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 and the Children and Families Act 2014; discussion of Jones v Kernott (2011) and family homes cases; analysis of the Law Commission’s recommendations (2014) in relation to matrimonial property agreements; consideration of the meaning of welfare after Re G (2012); updates on surrogacy cases; detailed analysis of new cases on parental responsibility; a fully revised chapter on private law children cases; detailed consideration of relocation disputes after K v K (2011); and full analysis of the significant new public law children cases of Re J (2013), Re B (2013) and Re B-S (2013). In addition, the introductory chapter, supported by materials on the Online Resource Centre, considers some of the contemporary challenges faced by the family justice system..
